Heat Advisory
Statement as of 4:52 am CDT on July 10, 2009


... Heat advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT this evening...

A heat advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT this evening.

Upper level high pressure will continue to be dominate over North
Texas today... resulting in another very hot day today with high
temperatures ranging between 99 and 108 degrees. Combined with the
humidity... expect afternoon heat index values to between 105 and 110
degrees. In addition... overnight lows will struggle to cool below
80 degrees across many locations.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles
under any circumstances. This is especially true during hot weather
when the inside of vehicles can reach lethal temperatures in a matter
of minutes... despite cracking windows or previously having used
air-conditioning.

Persons involved in vigorous outdoor activities are urged to take
frequent breaks and drink plenty of water. Wear loose fitting and
light-colored clothing. Be sure to check on persons with health
problems and the elderly... as they are the most susceptible to
heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
